Thanks for comments again; camo is indeed a mixture of smx-26 sources and mine so I didn't follow references precisely.

OK, here is next one. A Fast patrol corvette with 6xSSM, 16xSAM, 76 and 2x25mm guns.

depending on how wide she is, I think your outrigger hulls need to be positioned a bit more aft, because you might get interference with your bow wave (with added resistance and pressure on those hulls as an result)
I would also put the podded (retractable?) propeller a bit more forward, or even better, as forward as possible. the turning point of your ship will be about the front of the superstructure or slightly aft of that, (the area centroid of your waterline surface, if you want to know it exact) so the arm of the propulsion will be very short when manoeuvring.

Sebu, Your designs are always very interesting, and very well drawn. Keep it up! :)

Thanks for last comments.
Slowly but steady I'm trying to build my AU and this one is the biggest vessel so far. Basically a combination of two HeuHens cruisers. Lethal with nice lines; that's my kitbashing policy :mrgreen:

Yeah, it looks somewhat Heuhen-like. :)
Interesting concept, reminds me a bit Italian Vittorio Veneto helicopter cruiser, only taken to the XXI century.
(Although this large VLS battery and main gun so much forward looks IMHO ugly, but that's just my personal esthetical opinion ;) )

Thanks for comments, Eswube. And I agree; main gun and main VLS are too forward, so here is an update.

That's a smart looking ship Sebu. :)
